List of Ingredients



• 12 jumbo shrimp (3/4 lb.), shelled and deveined
  
• 1-1/2 Tbsp olive oil
  
• 2 tsp minced garlic
  
• 1/3 cup dry white wine
  
• 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  
• 2 Tbsp chopped sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil

Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
   
   
2. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large, nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, and sauté shrimp 1 minute per side. Transfer shrimp to a baking dish and bake in middle of oven until just cooked through, about 7 minutes.
   
   
3. While shrimp bakes, add garlic to skillet and cook, stirring, over moderate heat 15 seconds, then stir in wine, juice and tomatoes. Boil, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by two-thirds. Swirl in butter and basil over low heat and season with salt and pepper. Serve shrimp with sauce.
